I have a horrible bout of stomach flu-what to do? Dehydration?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

I felt achy yesterday and woke up this morning feeling worse than I ever have.  I've had diarrhea and vomiting all day and can't keep even water down.  My stomach is constantly cramping and trying to get whatever it can out...but there's nothing left.  What can I do?  What can I take?  I called my dr's office and of course they want me to go in or go to the ER b/c they're worried about dehydration.  I am super thirsty but my stomach is revolting everything.

I've never been sick like this before.  I know I'm not dehydrated (yet) and want to make sure I don't get to that point.  Any suggestions?

Thank you!

I swear by Vitacoco water. It is straight coconut milk. If you have never had it it is very thin like water not "milky" at all. It has more potassium than most sports drinks and very little sugar. All natural and whatnot. If you like coconut or even id you don't maybe give it a try. Good luck. I know it is so crappy to feel that way.  Hugs....
